Hi, a couple of questions following on from a recent service

1. Is it possible to change the rear number plate light bulb without replacing the whole unit, stealer quoted me £43.34?
2. Is it normal to need new front discs after 24k (don't look bad to me), also what would you expect to pay at a non franchise, stealer wanted £294.53?
3. Is it normal to have to renew the rear anti-roll bar bushes at 24k, having never carried more than a set of golf clubs in the back, again stealer wanted £135.55?
4. Does a 2.4 V6 really hold 6 litres of Mobil 1, and why do they charge twice the price of Halfrauds for this?

As you can probably tell, I'm not best pleased with latest service... having driven Audi as my main car for past 10 years... and it's not as if I'm not used to shelling out for service as my other car is a TVR... Oh, and they said above prices include 30% discount as car is just over 3 years old.

Made a good job of washing it though, can't fault Robert for his attention to detail...

Thanks for the advice Byff... I think a trip to the local quickfit might be in order

Tailgate light fixed... one screw and a clean of the contacts with some emery paper... £45 better off already.
